[Paddlewise] Clothing & Security

Our extended summer and fact that the local kayak manufacturer (Seaward) is 
moving to Vancouver Island prompted me to purchase my first kayak late in 
the summer.  With fall and winter approaching I expect to be paddling our 
inland lakes until mid November and hopefully a few weekend trips to 
Vancouver to paddle in the warmer coastal climate.

This prompts me to ask two questions.

1. What is the current thinking regarding clothing for cold water (and air) 
paddling.  So far I have got by with shorts T shirt and sandals but that 
will not last for long.

2. Kayaks are a very desirable commodity in Vancouver.  How does one secure 
a kayak to the roof of a pickup truck in the big smoke while sleeping 
soundly at night ?
